Getting old sucks, might as well have a nice bike
First look at the newest 50mm deep, 30mm wide Far Sports Hyper wheel set (FSD50CM 30T-HLH). Weight, widths, spoke tension, and true.…
The back wheel just arrived. First full-disc, and second Light Bicycle wheel. Run it through the usual quality checks; well… did have to skip the spoke tension check :). Intro: 0:02 Unboxing: 1:13 Truing Stand: 3:20 Weight: 5:23 Tire Testing: 6:15 Easy On, Doesn’t Mean Easy Mount: 7:34…
This is my first experience with a Light Bicycle wheel. I’ve heard good things, so when it arrived I figured it was important to put it through all the checks. Intro: 0:02 Unboxing: 0:43 Weight: 5:30 Truing Stand: 6:10 Spoke Tension: 7:02 Measurements: 09:21 Tire Testing: 10:37…
Got the chance to unbox and setup a friends brand new set of Winspace Lún HYPER D45 wheels. Got measurements, checked true, spoke tensions and setup the tubeless tires.…
It’s been quite the adventure with these Farsports gravel wheels, but despite the “learning moments”, it’s safe to say that I have a new favorite gravel wheelset.…
It’s hard to make the argument that a ~$1,000 wheel set presents good value for money, but that’s exactly what I consider the Farsports Feder FSD45CM-28T-SUD with DT Swiss 240 EXP hubs to be.

I’ve been meaning to get this review out for a while, but I was hoping to get some real climbing in before I did. Unfortunately, given the current situation, that wasn’t looking possible, so it was time to close the loop on this 700c wheel set from Farsports/Wheels Far.…
The Farsporst FS30-30G-700C 700c 30mm hookless gravel wheels are an amazing value (I paid $628). Light and agile, there’s almost nothing I don’t like about them.…
DT Swiss markets the ER 1400 Spline wheel set as an endurance “everything” wheel set, and it totally makes sense. The ER 1400 is a multi-purpose adventure wheel capable of pretty much anything. Whether that’s road, gravel, or somewhere in between. It has a lot going for it, but not without some flaws.…
There are quite a few different Chinese wheel OEMs out there offering well spec’d wheelsets for very reasonable prices. Interestingly, there is also a dearth of information available about them. With very few reviews, especially from major sites. So when I decided to roll the dice on a set of 35mm carbon wheels from Far Sports (Farsports?), I thought it only fair to document as much about the process as I could:…
